Neurotheology (neurotheological studies) is an emerging field of study that seeks to integrate cognitive neuroscience with religion and theology. Within the field of neurotheology, two primary approaches predominate: “Reductionist” group and “Religionist” camp. Unlike Reductionists, Religionists (Ahbrook, Newberg, Murphy and her colleagues) attempt to discover whether there exists a biological component of the human body (the brain) that is responsible for either enabling and/or generating the experience of that which is called “religious.” Most neurotheologians believe that explorations of the nature of our brain can help us better to understand “the ways things really are” in the our human brain and in our world. This article deals mainly with the Religionist point-of-view and attempts to provide a comprehensive review of the most prominent approache in neurotheological studies and its implications for Christian education.

소개
한국에 복음이 들어오고, 교회가 설립된 것은 19세기 말이었다.
해방이 되면서 한국교회는 더욱 발전하게 되었고 그에 따라 기독교교육의 중요성과 필요성도 강조되게 되었다. 그러한 과정에 기독교교육을 전공한 학자들이 귀국함에 따라 그들을 중심으로 한국기독교교육학회를 결성할 필요성을 느껴 설립하게 되었다.
한국기독교교육학회의 설립 목적은 기독교교육학의 이론적 발전과 실천을 위한 연구와 장을 확대해가려는 것이다. 그리고 학자들간의 연구교류와 교제를 위한 장을 마련하기 위하여 본 학회를 1960년에 설립하였다.
